blogger meet-up reminder #1

(pictured: my new coffee table after a 9-1 flames victory over colorado ---beers, nachos and a little flames' history with azevedo, pbr & mikeH.)

consider this your first reminder of the pre-HC blogger meet-up scheduled for saturday, feb 19 at 7:30pm at the cat & fiddle pub. this will probably be an ideal time for warm-up pints after the alumni game, and an early enough start for everyone right the hangover before puckdrop on sunday. ;) in attendance, from my latest understanding, will be three of hitthepost's finest (duncan can't make it, but mikeH and i will be there and kingjafi's flyin' in from florida), hayley from m&g [ottawa], justin azevedo from the4thline, kent and steinberg from flamesnation, sarah from cwgap [vancouver], leanne from openicehits, newsboy from 92.9, d_p_h from comments infamy, and i believe htp pals pbr and sjc will also make an appearance.

a representative from domebeers is unlikely cause the dude lives in the south. but with any luck his brother will give him so much shit for not going that he'll realize that fulltime anonymity is for the weak, and being in a room full of his brethren is a whole lot of fun. ;)

I really should have just taken the next few days off and come out early. I'm tired of Vancouver and the wind and the rain and trying to figure out how to stuff two pairs of boots into a tiny suitcase...

But yes, I will be there on Saturday night, with my dad and two brothers in tow. Four more sleeps!

First, you know you're invited, spending 10 minutes setting up a blog is not required to gain access. At the very least you can come and brag about how your team picked our pocket on the Staios trade.

Second, the chance of you receiving dog turds from me is about the same as Domebeers actually being able to touch a woman... Pretty much zero, barring a cash transaction in some back alley. (Hopefully this is enough provocation to get DB out as well)

I had assumed the poop threats were hollow. I lost my internet anonymity quite some time ago so that isn't it either. There would be too many mike h's there if I made an appearance and that would be confusing for all.

This weekend just isn't a good one for my escaping due to obligations of the familial kind.
